We are bringing the community together for another amazing dinner under the stars with chef Holly Warner.

Holly Warner, Chef and fellow Agritopia Resident. Holly comes to the East Valley from Dallas where she owned and ran a thriving prepared meal delivery service and a pop up dinner dining experience.

She began her career as a private chef on a yacht in St Thomas, USVI. She learned to source fresh, local ingredients and managed a 3ft by 3 ft kitchen that floated and overlooked the most stunning views. She then completed an immersion cooking program in Tuscany, Italy to specialize in mediterranean cuisine. She took those skills and began as an instructor at a recreational cooking program, Sur La Table before opening her own venue.

Since arriving in the East Valley she has started Taste of the Tope, and conducted cooking classes, catered private dinners and large group events. She is excited to jump back in the pop up dining scene utilizing the finest local ingredients from places like The Farm at Agritopia as well as her own garden located in the community gardens of Agritopia.

Below is a sample menu of what you can expect. Please note that the dinner is being created with super fresh, organic, SEASONAL ingredients. This menu is subject to change based on what is available during that time.

DESCRIPTION:

Get Down with Gluten: a conversation about the benefits of fermented bread.

Let’s talk about grains. In today’s world of marketing, many of us have heard or read about gluten in negative context. Did you know that historically humans used to receive 80 percent of calories from grains? We grew up with grains at the base of our food pyramids and now we’re being told not to eat them. Why? We will discuss grain allergens, what happens during fermentation, compare various breads and talk about the differences in nutrition.
